The suspect in the case is Tran Quoc Vu (31 years old, residing in Di Linh district, Lam Dong). Through investigation, on January 23, Vo Thanh Tuan (27 years old, residing in Dinh Lac commune, Di Linh district) went to Vu's house to collect the debt of 15 million VND that Vu had borrowed before.
While meeting Vu, a conflict arose between Tuan and Vu, leading to a fight. Vu used a knife to stab Tuan to death, then put the victim's body in a sack and transported it to his family's coffee plantation in Tam Bo commune, Di Linh district (nearly 30km from the scene).
Then, Vu took the two rings from Mr. Tuan's hand and hid them under a coffee tree and set fire to the victim's clothes to destroy the evidence.
